2820 Institute For Churches and Groups already committed to the work

If your church already believes disciple-making is its central work, NAMS exists to help you do it more faithfully.

The local church does the work. NAMS does not supply field workers or take the mission off your hands — we train, equip, and walk alongside leaders and congregations who are already convinced that making missionary disciples is what a church is for.

What walking alongside actually looks like

We train. Your church does the work.

Train

Form missionary disciples in your congregation

Your leaders learn to make disciples who make disciples — through the Disciple-Making Journey and 2820 Institute formation. We teach the methodology; your people carry it into your own context.

Equip

Prepare your church to plant

If God is calling your church to plant, the 52-Week Guide and our planters give your leaders the theology, discipline, and practical craft to do it. The planting is yours; the preparation we share.

Walk alongside

Stay accountable over the long haul

Disciple-making is slow work. We remain in it with your leaders through prayer, counsel, and honest formation — not a program that ends, but companions who stay.

Why it matters

A church convinced that disciple-making is its central work does not need us to do it. It needs faithful training to do it well — and companions who will not let it drift.

Begin with the Journey
If this is already your conviction

Talk with someone who has done it.

If your church is already committed to disciple-making and wants serious training partnership, tell us where you are and what you sense God calling it toward. We will connect you with a Companion who has walked that road.
